Chief Clerk said:On the topic of St Jean - who thinks we should deep six this god forsaken dump and go back to the way it was (Chilliwack for Officers and GOOD OLD Cornwallis for Recruits)? I know some of you would say - weve got to move into the future - but when the future looks like St Jean we are in a world of hurt! Deep Six It and go back to REAL basic training in a REAL training atmosphere! This is the only place I know of where people are continuously sick because of the stinking air in the bldg, people do PT in the Bldg - heaven forbid they get outside a walk from class to class - this place REALLY sucks for all concerned! God when is this place gonna just go AWAY! Want good recruits? Send them to a good place vice St Jean - I pitty the poor instructors who have to live and work in this place! Politics killed Cornwallis and Chilliwack!

It has the ASU St-Jean which is part of the CFB Montréal, and the old Collà ¨ge militaire royal de St-Jean is still used by the Canadian Forces (now under the name Collà ¨ge Fort St-Jean). Even though their is a lot of military personnel that still work and study at Fort St-Jean, civilians have a better access to it then we do.

G-Man said:Yeah that's true, but why an oversized appartment building? It's a long ass climb going up the stairs with a rucksack on, I live on the 11th floor what do you want.
